Physical characteristics

Hygrothermal and acoustic
The key characteristics and performance requirements of the ventilated facade are as follows:

• To provide correct thermal insulation that conforms to current legislation, preventing condensation and mould.

• To posses a high thermal inertia, in summer and winter conditions.

• To posses a balanced air permeability allowing humidity to diffuse externally without barriers and to provide correct air exchange.

• To be protected from rainwater, corrosive gases or chemicals present in the air and from effects of frost.

• To satisfy current acoustic insulation legislation.

• To be strong and durable, offering sound economic returns for the client.

The ventilated facade is most advanced construction solution that satisfies all of the requirements for optimal building performance and durability.
